District and School Site Verification

The District and School Site Verification System is a web-accessible collection tool that enables updates to the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) master directory of organizational units, which controls the processing of data on other MDE major systems such as MARSS, STAR, UFARS, FNS, IDEAS, LEVIES and the AYP Report Card.

To add or close sites, or make adjustments to other information, such as classifications or learning year, please complete the "FORM: Site Change Request Form" found below and e-mail it to mde.school-verify@state.mn.us. To determine the classification of an educational site, please refer to the two documents below entitled "Determining the Classification for a Standard Educational Site" and Determining the Classification for a Special Education Site."

Your request may be reviewed by department staff, or be referred to the Directory System Policy Committee for approval. A detailed description of the policy committee is found below.
